See above for an expression of my own sentiments. :-) As to the Linux/ELF situation, all you've proven is that you really don't understand what the dynamics of that situation were. You need to go to more conferences so that you can hear the actual implmentors explaining their rationale rather than just theorizing to yourself (and us) about their motivation. And yes, I go to Linux conferences as well as to general UNIX conferences and have met and talked to all the relevant players on both sides. > contribute however I can.

Your strong suit would appear to be in the realm of sweeping analogy rather than practical suggestion. Jordan
